GRIEF AND LOSS
Grief is something that quietly rearranges one’s life. It is a natural response to losing someone or something important. It is an experience that is unique to each individual and one that often never leaves them, it only changes in time. Grief is not linear and there is no set timeframe, the experience of it is entirely personal. Grief can be tended to, sat with, and cared for so that the grieving person does not endure long-lasting suffering in isolation.
